What to tell an IG in re-chartering.

It is the responsibility of section staff to appoint a sponsor.

Advisors of Interest Groups and Petitioning Groups don't have to already be APO members, but the sponsor does.

If he is in communication with his section chair and/or region director, he is doing the right things.

And as a small caveat, the answer to the question is not affected by whether it is a rechartering or a chartering.

There are relatively few things in the (re)chartering process that are affected by whether it is a "re-" or not.

The ultimate in that is probably Phi Omicron chapter at Ferrum College. It was only after they were *quite* far into the rechartering process that it was discovered that the original charterers of Phi Omicron *weren't*. It turned out that the letter Phi Omicron had been assigned and the chartering scheduled and then delayed and then didn't happen. So the group that thought they were rechartering Phi Omicron were actually chartering it.

See http://www.ferrum.edu/apo/history.htm and probably Jamie's later comments in the thread.
